Will it fly!? It is one of the birds I built for my son and after a few years air time in Japan, I re-modeled it :-) for him and he has it in the states!! It was done in see-through red and black trim--he appeared with it in Model Builder. Yes, as already noted, it IS a kick on the slope, but at a TPGs' Poway field visit we skied it out so many times we wondered how the guys who fly there got so good--it was too easy :-) !! Wish I could have done so well at my IHLGF times!!
Some time back Gyros in L.A. bought out someone's remaining stock (which we learned about here on RCSE) and they were gracious enough to send one out to me!! I look forward to building it with the gear load available now that weighs less than the battery we flew with earlier!! I will build it with a "V" shaped fuselage which the design lends itself to (discovered from its much flying time);I would see no reason to cut wings for a build or try to change airfoils. ALL of the negative Skeeter thread about kit bashing applies here--go get something else to build or build scratch :-) !! My son loved to launch it with a snap roll at the top--she is a cute little ship. We flew her light slope a lot and into the dark--believe me, being red and black, at dusk she could really disorient the pilot :-) !! Nothing but special memories from this little bridi!!
